Okay, this issue was slightly better than the junk that has been printed out the last few months. I am a fan of Nightcrawler (616) and seeing this dark version of him is interesting to me. I am NOT a fan of that art though....my goodness!

Is anyone reading this? It was interested in it awhile ago but some ugly interior art and $4 price tag turned me off.

I have been, it has been on my "call the comic shop and drop this comic" list for a few months....but the covers and the storyline have improved the last couple of months. This storyline is decent...but the $4 is just not worth it. My OCD doesn't want me to stop collecting during a run.....so its a tough call.

I feel they should have merged this title with the All-New X-Men or made the new X-Men title replace this one as well.

That's a pretty sweet cover. Could Iceman conceivably make ice wings and fly? I feel like he would be too heavy.

That is an awesome cover.

Iceman really doesn't need wings to be able to fly. He's a hydrokinetic, he could fly simply by willing himself to, the same way he can create and keep iceslides high in the air without any support to hold them up. The wings are most likely an aesthetic choice.
